[QUOTE="thurstanp, post: 1371062, member: 238465"] Why is that my Macbook is unable to handle video content, such as youtube, video-skype, mp4video, and online media? I've sent my Macbook in for repair on 3 occasions now and (1.logic board replaced 2. not sure 3. battery replaced) still it overheats. Now, my rep advised me to download a FanControl widget to up the fan speed to cool the diodes, chips etc; but surely if the average Mac layperson has no clue, this surely begs the question that the Macbook has a design issue of overheating with power hungry applications such as video/graphics content?? Anyone got any ideas if its just my 'TGIF' produced laptop, or is this a real design issue for Apple?? [/QUOTE]
